She put her wrist on the recess of the pulse pillow and felt the coolness of the brocade on her skin. Outside the window, there was an autumn wind howling through the trees. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and kept coughing.
The lights flicker.
"...Caught in the rain." He frowned and checked his pulse carefully.
"Um."
"Don't eat those anti-epidemic pills for the time being. It's useless. It's easy to hold off if you catch the cold." He retracted his hand and pondered.
"...Oh." She cherished words even more than Liu Ruhai.
He raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing her drooping eyebrows and lack of energy, he finally tried to persuade her: "What did Chen Ming tell you to eat? You should also think about it, he is good at using poison, not treating diseases."
"Yeah, I understand." She nodded, wanting to say that she didn't have the nerve to ask her father.
He had heard about this from Mr. Cao, and he laughed helplessly. He stood up at his desk and prescribed a prescription for the cold: "Take one dose every day."
"Okay, thank you." She took it with both hands, "Thank you."
Liu Ruhai looked at her carefully under the lamp. There was anger in her pulse, which was why she kept coughing.
He also guessed the reason for her anger. It was just not convenient to persuade her now. Stepping out of Chen's mother's room, Liu Ruhai turned to Songbi and said a few words: "You can tell her about Nanzhi in two days.
"
It's best for her to rest calmly these two days. He thought. But Songbi whispered: "Sir, Madam Cao likes fishing in winter. I found out that it's true. There are lakes inside and outside the capital, better water villages, no matter whose family they are.
As long as there is no one around, she has been there. I heard what our second manager said. Mr. Marquis doesn’t care about her, she won’t be caught anyway.”
Liu Ruhai didn't say anything, and he didn't want to think too much about it now. He and her weren't really in a romantic relationship. They were just some interests. Let's wait and see. It's not bad to have a water village in Prince Zhao's mansion.
, near Zhenzhu Village.
She should play more and worry less. When she worries, it can be seen that she is not in good spirits.
Lou Shuluan sent a girl over every day to ask about Chen's mother's condition. Cao Xiwan looked on coldly and did not ask what was going on.
On the contrary, Mother Chen became more energetic and told her on the sickbed: "The relatives of Guan Shaanlou's Warehouse are indeed married to a domestic slave named Yuzhi from Nanyu, Duke of Liang's Mansion. Mrs. Yuzhi gave birth to a child.
The children either died young or became monks and became monks and disappeared. We treat our wives as close as daughters. We have recommended one or two musicians in the past, one is named Nanjia and this one is named Nanzhi. I advise my wife to stay away from this family. Don't
Bring in some musicians of unknown origin."
Lou Shuluan refused to agree.
Mother Chen was anxious and tried to persuade her a little more, saying that the Marquis was unreliable and that the wife must be cautious.
This statement also annoyed my wife.
The wife asked Mother Chen to go out of the house. Mother Chen fell ill in a rage.
Lou Shuluan regretted it after saying it.
In the past few days, Lou Shuluan sent her maid to say hello every day. After hearing that Mrs. Chen was in better spirits, she asked how her wife was, so she came over in person.
Lou Shuluan is wearing a jingle ring, embroidered jacket and brocade skirt, she is really dazzling.
When she arrived, Cao Xiwan was also sitting cross-legged outside, watching the little girl cook the medicine.
"Thank you for your trouble." Madam actually asked her. She knew that it was all for the sake of Mother Chen, so she said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm also taking medicine, so I can keep some company with Mother Chen."
The wife nodded slightly, closed the door in the inner room and talked to Mother Chen.
The girl was outside, and it was not convenient for Cao Xiwan to eavesdrop. He could only hear vaguely, as if the master and the servant were crying. The wife's eyes were red, and she talked for an hour before leaving.
In the next two days, Chen's mother's complexion improved, and Liu Ruhai came for another follow-up visit. He nodded and said: "My mood is better, and my disease is getting better. I'll change the prescription and take it for a few more days."
As she watched, Liu Ruhai checked Chen's mother's eyes. The old mother must have cheered up, and the blur in her eyes had improved a lot.
After they left the outside room together, Liu Ruhai asked her, "Are you still coughing?"
"It's been better these past two days."
"Prince Zhao's Mansion also has a water village on the outskirts of the capital." He said with a smile while diagnosing her pulse.
Cao Xiwan glanced at him and said nothing.
Liu Ruhai looked at her and saw that she didn't answer. He sighed secretly and continued: "Prince Tang himself also has a Zhuangzi, which was a Taoist temple renovated. There are more than ten or twenty Taoist priests in it."
When she heard this, her ears pricked up: "There is Master Feng Xian in Prince Qin's Mansion, who has a background in tantric swordsmanship. Do you know?" She heard it with her own ears. When Liu Ruhai saw Zhan Bai Dao in the corridor, he called him Master Feng.
"...I speculate that Master Feng is from Nanyu's old party. After he entered the capital, he hid in this Taoist temple owned by Prince Tang."
No wonder, Yang Pingcui and Feng Junqing had close contacts. It turned out that they were both from the Tang prince's palace.
"Zhuangzi in Prince Zhao's Mansion is very close to Zhuangzi in Prince Tang's Mansion?" She thought for a moment.
He nodded slightly. They were all in the suburbs of Beijing, looking at Qingliang Mountain to the north and Mochou Lake to the south. It was close to Yuyuan Zhenzhu Water Village.
"When are we going to have a look?" she asked, getting interested. Liu Ruhai just mentioned the water village in Prince Zhao's Mansion. Of course she knew it was called Xiaoyuan Water Village. There wasn't much scenery there, but there were a lot of fish.
She once sneaked in and caught fish. But it was not easy to mention this to the owner of the water village. She decided to pretend that she had forgotten it.
Liu Ruhai smiled, he could make the decision at Xiaoyuan Water Villa. He heard that she seemed to have been there before and stayed for a few days. She must have liked Xiaoyuan.
"You should take care of it for a while in autumn and winter." He gave some advice on how to take care of it in autumn and winter. "Go fishing in winter? Let your parents go too."
She had her own plan, kept these words in mind, and said with a smile: "I will discuss it with my parents." Liu Ruhai also mentioned that Cao's father and son have been coming to the shop from time to time to diagnose pulses and treat minor illnesses in the past few days.
.
She is happy that her biological father is finally reliable?
"I will go to the shop in the next few days, but it is best to arrange for an old doctor." He hinted tactfully. She was not disappointed. Of course, his father could not see difficult and complicated diseases, so he should never let his father see him.
"Young master Liu is right, you can figure it out. Just talk to shopkeeper Huo, and you can decide the wages and so on."
After all, Liu Ruhai was also a 50-50 shareholder, and she even gave a share to Qin Meng, Luo's mother, and the others. In terms of shares, Liu Ruhai actually held the most shares.
He smiled and nodded.
"Peppermint oil? It's time to get ready."
"I want orange-scented ones." She held out five fingers, "Five bottles. One bottle you gave me, four bottles will be recorded on my account. I want to give them away." She thought again, "My father
I'm going to give you a big fur coat as a gift this winter. It's even more beautiful than the one in Pingnan Bo's Mansion. I'm still looking at the leather."
He smiled, nodded and stood up.
Cao Xiwan remembered Liu Ruhai's autumn and winter care tips, slipped out and looked for Chen Ming. Chen Ming nodded after listening. There was no problem.
She quickly began to wrap herself up, usually wearing a short bun, an embroidered scarf, and one or two gold and pearl hairpins. It would not be out of place to stand in the main room.
Or just a long hairpin inlaid with jade and burnt gold, and a Guanyin cloak on the outside, with only the forehead exposed.
She told Mother Chen that she would be protected from the cold wind this autumn and would not have a cough in winter.
Mother Chen is now able to get out of bed, and the supplements she usually takes are all the wife's private money. She thinks that the wife is kind to Mother Chen.
One day, Mother Chen pulled her into the inner room and opened the box hidden under the bed. The compartments inside were all the body parts of Mother Chen. Mother Chen asked: "Is your shop across from Baihu Yamen in Nan'an reliable?"
.I heard that Su Jintian is going to be transferred."
"Sixth Young Master took over. Me and Sixth Young Master are very good."
Mother Chen took care of herself and asked her to help her count as a stock.
She was happy in her heart, so she thought about it and quietly persuaded her: "You can't say anything about Mr. Hou to my wife. Lu Xiuyun and I are pretty good. As soon as I said Su Jintian was unreliable, she would beat me and break off our relationship with me."
She shook her finger and said, "It's enough to tell her once. What can I do if she doesn't listen?"
Mother Chen didn't understand. She just sighed: "My wife treats me badly. I don't have any children. I can't bear it..."
"We are already married. It is impossible for the wife to divorce the Marquis just because she sees it. You said something about Mrs. Tutian's irritability and hurt the relationship between master and servant. When the wife understands it herself and asks you for advice, you can talk about it. Mrs.
I just remember your love and loyalty, mother."
She tried to persuade her. Mother Chen couldn't help but be surprised and amused when she saw how well-mannered she was in such a trivial matter.
She looked back with a look of shame and sighed faintly: "My father and my mother, I have told you so many times. They didn't listen. They even scolded me for being unfilial. I gradually understood that I should just take care of myself.
I am lucky to eat well, drink well, wear well, and be healthy."
